Brazil's Pix raises hopes of digital payments system

Brazil has a new instant payment system, which is backed by the central bank. It is called Pix. Majority of Brazilians are using it to buy vegetables as well as do high-end shopping with it. When people offer to pay, the immediate question the vendors ask is, 'Do you have Pix?' To use it requires a simple registration process. It requires a bank account, email and a phone number. One registers for Pix through a tax identity number, akin to the social security number in the United States. Usually, such instant payments systems are managed by a consortium of banks. But in Brazil, the central bank is the chief backer of the payment mode. It was launched in 2020, and it picked up momentum during the Covid period. While it has digitized transactions, Brazil seems to have made the Big Brother in the neighbourhood, the United States, hostile. Meta was planning to launch a WhatsApp payment system around the same time in Brazil, but the Brazilian authorities delayed in granting permission until 2021. The WhatsApp payment system could not match the popularity of Pix. The Office of the US Trade Representative had issued a statement in July saying that it was investigating whether Brazil had indulged in 'unfair trade practices' by privileging its own digital payment system over that of the American big tech companies like Meta. It said that Brazil through Pix 'may harm the competitiveness of American companies'. Brazil hit back when a government-run social media ran a campaign with the slogan 'Pix is ours, My Friend.' And an Instagram message of the government said, 'Seems like our Pix is causing a lot of jealousy abroad, you know.' American Nobel Prize winning economist and columnist Paul Krugman is all praise for Pix. He has quoted an International Monetary Fund (IMF) report which said that the transaction costs of Pix are lower and free for individuals. For merchants and firms, the transaction cost is 0.33 per cent, while it is 1.13 per cent for credit cards and 2.34 per cent for credit cards. Individual users do not have to pay any transaction costs. He also said that the Pix processing time is three seconds, while it takes two days for debit cards and 28 days for credit cards. While Krugman speculates on the possibility of creating a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), and the obstacles in the way of US Federal Reserve to implement such a plan, Brazil is moving towards a digital currency of its own called Drex. This is seen as a way to complement Pix. Nathalie Janson, professor of economics at NEOMA in France, says that there is no demand for a mode of digital payment like Pix in Europe as most Europeans have bank accounts. In Brazil, Pix is open to people without bank accounts. She says, 'Pix was a voluntary project by the Brazilian authorities to expand banking access.' It is interesting that the Indian digital payment system, UPI, has become popular too and widespread, but there is competition through the privately-managed PayTM. And the Indian digital payment system is becoming acceptable in some other countries like Singapore, Bhutan, Nepal, France, Mauritius, Sri Lanka, Oman, UK, Malaysia, Japan, Thailand and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). So, the digital payments system is gaining acceptance in the Global South. Whether this will lead to a digital national currency remains to be seen. The United States is interested in pushing cryptocurrency. But the risk factor is greater in it. Only when a central bank backs a digital currency that it will gain trust and confidence of market players, and not just the speculators.

Trump imposes 50% tariffs on Brazil

30 July 2025 23:40 WASHIGNTON (AFP)US President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Wednesday implementing an additional 40 percent tariff on Brazilian products, bringing the total trade duties to 50 percent, the White House White House did not state what date the tariffs would come into effect, but Trump had previously cited August 1. Brazil has been bracing for a virtual embargo on its planes, grains and crude oil under the move, which brushes aside centuries-old ties and a US trade surplus which Brasilia put at $284 million in 2024.

UN holds emergency talks over sky-high costs for COP30 climate summit

BRUSSELS: The United Nations' climate bureau held an urgent meeting on Tuesday over concerns that sky-high accommodation prices for this year's COP30 climate summit in Brazil could price poorer countries out of the negotiations, according to diplomats and a document seen by Reuters. Brazil is preparing to host this year's U.N. climate summit in November in the rainforest city of Belem, where nearly every government in the world will gather to negotiate their joint efforts to curb climate change. Concerns about logistics have dogged preparations for COP30. Developing countries have warned that they cannot afford Belem's accommodation prices, which have soared amid a shortage of rooms. In an emergency meeting of the U.N. climate body's "COP bureau" on Tuesday, Brazil agreed to address countries' concerns about accommodation and report back at another meeting on August 11, said Richard Muyungi, chair of the African Group of Negotiators, who called the meeting. "We were assured that we will revisit that on the 11th, to get assurances on whether the accommodation will be adequate for all delegates," Muyungi told Reuters after the meeting. He said African countries wanted to avoid trimming their participation because of the cost. "We are not ready to cut down the numbers. Brazil has got a lot of options in terms of having a better COP, a good COP. So that is why we are pushing that Brazil has to provide better answers, rather than telling us to limit our delegation," Muyungi said. Another diplomat familiar with the meeting said complaints about affordability came from both poor and wealthy nations. An agenda for Tuesday's meeting, seen by Reuters, confirmed it was convened to address "operational and logistical preparations for the Climate Change Conference in Belem" and the African Group of Negotiators' concerns on the matter. Brazil's Foreign Ministry did not immediately reply to a request for comment. Brazilian officials organising the summit have made repeated assurances that poorer countries will have access to accommodation they can afford. CRUISE SHIP HOTELS Brazil is racing to expand the 18,000 hotel beds usually available in Belem, a coastal city of 1.3 million, to host the roughly 45,000 people projected to attend COP30. The government this month said it had secured two cruise ships to provide 6,000 extra beds for delegates. It also opened bookings to developing countries for more affordable accommodation at daily rates of up to $220. That is still above the "daily subsistence allowance" the U.N. offers some poorer nations to support their participation at COPs. For Belem, the figure is $149. Two U.N. diplomats showed Reuters quotes they had received from hotels and property managers in Belem for rates of around $700 per person per night during COP30. Officials from six governments, including wealthier European nations, told Reuters they had not yet secured accommodation because of high prices, and some said they were preparing to reduce their participation. A spokesperson for the Dutch government said it may need to halve its delegation compared with recent COPs, when the Netherlands sent around 90 people during the two-week event, including envoys, negotiators and youth representatives. Poland's deputy climate minister Chris Bolesta told Reuters earlier this month: "We don't have accommodation. We'll probably have to cut down the delegation to the bone." "In an extreme event, maybe we will have to not show up," he said.
